The needs and wants of the intended user group are central to the space planning process. To draw on an obvious example, if a room is to be used for regular meetings, relatively more space will be devoted to tables, chairs and other movable furniture, compared with a living room designed for a family of four. If an interior is to be used by adults, the furnishings may be finer and less resilient than those included in a child’s playroom.
Therefore, a designer needs to consider not only who is using the space, but what purposes the space will actually serve.
For example, if it is to be a high-traffic environment, with many people coming and going, the floors and carpets will need to be much tougher than in rooms that are only to be used on an occasional basis, such as guest bedrooms.
